Abstract:		 A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd, on behalf of the Wiltshire Council Archaeology Service, along a narrow corridor of land adjacent to the Fosse Way Roman road in Norton, Wiltshire. The corridor had been stripped of topsoil as part of an access route and easement for a replacement water main. The stripping of the topsoil revealed a number of wall foundations, hard surfaces, pits, ditches and possible industrial activity indicative of a continuation of the Roman town located to the north of the River Avon at White Walls, Easton Grey, 500m to the north. The results of the survey show that despite the narrow width of the corridor and some magnetic disturbance from the existing ferrous water pipe, the site contains a large number of linear ditches, pits and areas of burning, primarily at the northern end of the survey corridor. The response to the features is very strong, partly due to the removal of topsoil and partly due to strong magnetic enhancement caused by burnt material. A positive linear anomaly also extends along the western edge of the survey and this may relate to an eastern flanking ditch of the Fosse Way Roman road. A number of irregularly shaped positive responses have also been located, many of which are immediately adjacent to the flanking road ditch and they are likely to relate to quarry pits.
